Well, 10x Saki girls this group, and of course, people put 10x Saki girls in their votes. To be fair, though, 7 out of 10 girls are totally relevant in Zenkoku-hen. Then there is a commentator (Kokaji-pro), then two other that are fairly major character (池田ァ！ and Yuu).

Which means I'm 4-6-0 this round. Outside of Silica, though, all the other girls shouldn't have any problem qualifying in 2nd prelim. SAO continues to look bad in contrast to its popularity, though...

Well, that's what Asuna Yuuki gets for winning the ISML Emerald Necklace. It was only fair. And this also explains why ISML will continue to kick Saki to the curb in preliminaries.

To be fair, though, she would finish something like 6th or 7th if not for the insane amount of Saki girls in this group. That's about SAO standard...(Asuna finish 5th behind Ako and Shizu, along with Tsukiko and Miborin last year in prelim)

And ISML...it's not just Saki anyway but just about every single SoL series along with, well, MadoMagi.

By the way, there are 88 Saki girls in this tournament, so 11 is indeed the average number of Sakis in each first preliminary (E1-E8). It's just yesterday that they swept the top 10 of a first preliminary.

Their qualification by match so far is:

E1: 9 total (4 to main round, 5 to second prelim.)
E2: 8 total (2 to main round, 6 to second prelim.)
E3: 18 total (5 to main round, 12 to second prelim., 1 eliminated)
E4: 11 total (10 to main round, 1 to second prelim.)

This result somewhat worries me unless it turns out to be a fluke and they do terrible in the main tourney.

Like I said, 7 out of the 10 are actually relevant character in Zenkoku-hen. And I really can't dispute any of them.

I mean, last group has more Saki girls and only 5 got straight qualification (and 4 of them bunch together anyway). Saki bunch votes are out there, but it's not like people are randomly voting in extremely minor Saki girls. I expect E06 to look more like E03 than E04 anyway (I saw Mihoko, Kuro, Suehara, Kodomo, and maybe Maho directly qualifying, then maybe Mihirogi sneak in at 11th or 12th place)

Yes, yes, that as well. But Homura is in the Stella Division for good.

By the way, I played around with the CAPTCHA in order to get a better understanding of how it works. As you know, for each attempt to access the code generator, the CAPTCHA gives you six chances to enter the correct code. Failure to enter the code six times in a row locks you out for the rest of the day. To successfully obtain a code, this process must be done twice; once to request code generation, and once to get the code.

For those who are somewhat familiar with kana but have trouble entering the correct code to the CAPTCHA, here is what I found out:

The CAPTCHA does not accept any dakuten, handakuten, or little kana forms. If you are thinking about entering one in the code, rest assured that it will always be considered wrong. Forms appearing to be little kana in the image must be entered as big kana.

HE (へ ヘ), RI (り リ), WA (わ ワ), and WO (を ヲ) are not used.

I have given some examples in the images section below for anyone interested, along with a note or two for each one. Each example is a successful response.

FractalFusion thanks for that help but once again I am banished to the bleachers for this day, I almost got a vote but stuffed up the attempt somehow. Oh well try and try again, or cheer on with all my might as per usual seem to be my options.

Non Non Biyori and Shiro from No Game No Life really went a bit ahead from the others.
